Health centers ensure that all underserved populations have access to high quality, comprehensive, affordable healthcare, regardless of their ability to pay

The Nebraska community health centers serve as a critical component of the safety net program, serving 26% of the uninsured population and 34% of the uninsured children. In Nebraska, nearly 50% of the health center patients are uninsured and 92% are low income
